Merchant and doctor

Chapter 2197 Yin-Yang Pillars
Although Mr. Meng was not the kind of person who was proficient in both medicine and medicine, he was quite knowledgeable in traditional Chinese medicine. After hearing what Bian Mu said, he immediately realized that he must have overlooked a lot of important things over the years, and some of them might even be quite serious.

"From what you're saying... she already had a miscarriage when she was pregnant?! Of course, I'm referring to the general concept of 'pregnancy' in traditional Chinese medicine, not that the child was born with some kind of congenital defect. Does that make sense?" For a moment, Mr. Meng seemed a little at a loss.

“Boss! You were seriously injured back then. Not only were your wounds festering and smelly, but if I’m not mistaken, some areas had actually pierced through the bone. If it weren’t for Mr. Meng’s urgent help, even if you had barely survived, you would probably be disabled by now. Running a teahouse?! You probably wouldn’t even be able to handle the most basic living skills!” Bian Mu explained calmly.

The two looked at each other, and the proprietress and Mr. Meng immediately showed expressions of surprise.

"You mean..." After a slight hesitation, the proprietress began to ask.

“When it comes to surgery, many elderly people in my family will stubbornly insist on conservative treatment if there is any possibility of it. They just don’t want to go through that surgery. It’s not just them; if any of their relatives or friends go to that stage, they will also clearly oppose it! Are there not a few reasonable people among the elderly?!” Bian Mu replied with a smile.

"You mean, the external pathogens had already infiltrated the body and were so close to the heart. The heart was okay; it expelled the pathogens through contraction and relaxation. But it was much harder for the other organs... No wonder... It even damaged the fetal meridian later. I understand! How could I have missed this point..." At this point, Mr. Meng slapped his forehead hard with his left hand several times.

What kind of habitual movements are these?! And he's left-handed too.

"That's pretty much the idea. So, theoretically speaking, your son will continue to be at odds with his mother involuntarily. Theoretically speaking, it won't be until he becomes a father himself for several years that he will be able to understand and finally let go of his grudges with his own mother and reconcile with her!" Bian Mu predicted with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the proprietress's expression inevitably changed.

"Don't worry! If the curator can tell you, then there must be a way to cure it, right? So... what exactly is the pathology? If it's convenient, please tell us! We're all family here now." As he spoke, Mr. Meng said a couple of words to Bian Mu in a somewhat ingratiating tone.

"The human body is divided into Yin and Yang, and can be classified into many types according to different standards. One such classification is here! The back, with the spine as the central axis, continues down to the sacrum and coccyx without stopping, and then extends downwards, finally reaching the ground, where it meets the midline connecting the feet. I'm talking about the approximate meeting point, not the purely physical, visible one. This is the Yang pillar! Why is it called the 'Yang pillar'? Because it's the one that faces the earth and backs to the sky, seeing the sun every day! Traditional Chinese medicine also calls it 'Cheng Yang'! Upwards, it reaches the Baihui acupoint; where is the Yin pillar? Following the principle of Yin-Yang symmetry, let's gesture towards our lower abdomen..." The intestines are the central axis. First, they descend, digesting the essence of grains, then ascend, transmitting various vital energies and clear energies, also directly to the Baihui acupoint, where they meet the Yang pillar. Another path descends, partially manifesting as urination and defecation; this is the 'Yin pillar.' For ordinary people, as long as these two pillars of life are well cared for throughout their lives, their lives will be much more peaceful. Boss, you suffered a loss in this regard, made a mistake in the middle, and didn't manage those last few stages well, ultimately veering to your left shoulder socket and sinking there, unable to go anywhere! In the end, you developed that kind of life-threatening serious illness.” At this point in the explanation, Bian Mu felt a little thirsty and picked up his beverage cup, taking a few sips.

"Oh...no wonder...how exactly is it treated?" Mr. Meng asked eagerly.

"Let's practice dancing for a few days first! Use your body movements to stimulate the internal energy, which we call 'guiding the energy.' Besides a lot of water and blood, the human body is filled with all kinds of gases. Of course, the energy I'm talking about here isn't exactly the same concept as the energy in modern chemistry and physics. We're talking about a broader range of energy. Practicing specific dance movements regularly will help to force the various energies in the body to rearrange and recombine, thereby reshaping the internal 'energy pathways.' Then, expel them as much as possible through urination and defecation. Eventually, when your pulse is calm, you'll be able to return to the natural state of internal energy circulation you had many years ago. It's impossible to achieve 100%, but 80% or more is enough," Bian Mu explained with a smile.

"No acupuncture? No medicine?" In her haste, the proprietress blurted out. "With internal energy in such a chaotic state, how can we administer medicine? Think about it this way: no matter how many kinds of herbal medicine there are in the world, and how many combinations and variations there are, can they surpass the variety and quantity of changes in the flow of qi?! Right? Qi is invisible, almost elusive. How can we prescribe medicine at this stage?" Bian Mu explained with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the female boss finally understood what was going on.

"Then I need to learn from someone for a while, right?! I can't just lock myself up and wander around aimlessly, can I?" the female boss asked anxiously.

"Which investment company in the city has the highest market value?" Bian Mu suddenly asked.

"Of course it's the Cao family!" the proprietress blurted out.

"Cao Yueyue is now the head of the Cao family. I get along fairly well with President Cao. She recently opened a sound therapy center and has also added health dance training services with medical and health care aspects. The results are indeed quite good. That place is suitable for you. Of course, I will contact President Cao before you go and ask her to make arrangements for you. That way, you will be in a better state of mind! Of course, you have your own strengths and advantages, and you will definitely have the opportunity to help President Cao in some aspects in the future. So, we don't owe each other anything. Treatment is the most important thing."

Upon hearing this, a hint of joy appeared on the faces of the proprietress and Mr. Meng.

“Once you’ve practiced to a certain level, the female coach over there will naturally contact me. I’ll go over and tailor a few more practice routines for you. After you practice for a while longer, we’ll discuss an acupuncture treatment. Once you’ve completed most of the acupuncture treatment course, you should be fine.” As he said this, a knowing smile appeared on Bian Mu’s face.

Mr. Meng was indeed quite knowledgeable, and only now did he realize the truth.

“I understand! The Yin and Yang pillars are misaligned and need to be readjusted so that Yang returns to Yang and Yin returns to Yin. It’s a bit like wringing out a towel, isn’t it?” Mr. Meng asked with a smile.

“More than a hundred years ago, many doctors in the north did indeed call this therapy ‘twisting rope method’!” Bian Mu replied with a smile.

Upon hearing this, the proprietress and Mr. Meng finally understood.
